Mission: To hold to account any representative or senator, executive branch officer, or federal judge who violates the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Philosophy:
The United States is not governed by elected officials. It is governed by a document—a document called the Constitution. Unlike humans, the document is fair and impartial. The document acknowledges and protects the natural freedoms, rights, and property of all of the people, contrary to the selfish interests of career politicians and their cronies.
The Constitution overrides the dictates of government officials. It carries the will of the people who ratified it. It may be changed by the amendment process only. It may not be changed by twisted interpretations of its words, by errant precedents set by disobedient judges, or by the pressure of a mob-rule majority.
As the Declaration of Independence points out, it is the duty of the people to correct a government that persistently violates its charter. The government over the last century has demonstrated its inability to restrain itself from violating the Constitution. The government has been indulging in the exercise of powers that would never have been ratified by the prescribed amendment process. Congress, the Executive Branch, and the Supreme Court have all been complicit. To rectify this problem, the Constitutional Oversight Posse has been instituted by citizens of the United States to enforce the Constitution and to ensure that any government official so presumptuous as to try to override the will of the people who ratified the Constitution and its amendments shall be duly brought to justice.
The Means to the End:
The COP will grow its membership until it has at least one million signed members who are eligible to vote in the United States. Membership will be contingent on members being in full agreement with the written mission, philosophy, and means of the COP. Any member misrepresenting the organization’s charter may be expelled from the organization.
Once the required membership level has been reached, the COP’s governing board will generate an initial list of violators: government officials who have violated or ignored the oath of office or who have participated in unconstitutional exercises of power. The board will then identify the representatives and senators who are legally responsible for initiating the impeachment and/or expulsion of the violators. The board will present to the identified officials an ultimatum and the list of violators who must be prosecuted. The ultimatum will set deadlines by which the prosecutorial duties must be performed. The ultimatum will inform the identified officials that failure to carry out these duties within the set time limits will render the identified official subject to arrest for violation of their oaths of office, a high crime under the Constitution.
If an arrest is warranted, the COP will seek to have a state government authority conduct the arrest, establish bail, and set a trial date. If no state government authority will carry out this responsibility, the COP will seek to have a local government authority conduct the arrest and the follow-through. If no local government authority will commit to this responsibility, the COP will conduct a citizen’s arrest. In the event that a citizen’s arrest must be conducted, the COP will first identify a legal body within a state or local government to whom to immediately present the arrested official for prosecution. This legal body will be held accountable by the COP for performing due diligence and follow-up appropriate for a case involving high crime.
No arrest will be conducted without the participation, at the site of the arrest, of at least ten-thousand members of the COP and the assent of at least a majority of the remaining members of the COP. No assault and no physical restraint may be used on the arrested official. No armaments may be illegally employed in the arrest. Any restraints on an arrested official’s mobility will be within the limitations of the first-amendment right to assemble and within the customary guidelines for citizen’s arrests of persons displaying criminal behavior.
The COP’s operations will be conducted openly with maximum access by the news media. Publicity will be sought for the sake of educating the public concerning the Supreme Law of the Land—the Constitution—and the importance of enforcing this governing document against the self-serving interests of all government officials who would violate it.
Bylaws:
The COP’s founders will appoint a governing board for the COP and will generate and codify the means by which a new governing board may be elected by the membership on an annual basis.
The governing board will set additional bylaws and policies of the COP in writing and will plan and coordinate the execution of COP activities. Only activities pre-approved by the governing board may be conducted under the auspices of the COP.
Only COP members may be members of the governing board.
Actions:
The first major action of the COP after the membership surpasses one million people will likely be the issuance of an ultimatum to the Speaker of the House warning him that he will be subject to arrest unless he initiates within one month the impeachment and/or other legal proceedings required to remove from office Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama in a manner that will result, to the maximal extent, in the negation of the unconstitutional actions they have taken while in office. The COP will then use its threat of arrest to hand-hold each and every one of the representatives and senators through the most expeditious constitutionally-allowed process leading to expulsion of the accused.
The COP will thereafter continue to act as enforcer of the Constitution, managing the expulsion of one violator of the Constitution after another, thereby chastening an otherwise errant government and restoring the Constitution as the legitimate ruler of the United States.
Given the large backlog of violators of the oath and of the Constitution, the COP is likely to be a very busy organization. It will be a very productive organization, as well, because for every official arrested or expelled from the government there will be at least ten who will thereafter be careful not to cross the line.

Well, what do you think this is? It’s brand new, and we’re trying.
Thank you!!!!!! I agree with everything you said. Everything. I too am a Christian who is pro-America and anti-sharia all the way. If people want to live by these rules go to the countries that live by those rules. We don’t and WE DON’T WANT TO!!!!!!!!! I won’t stop you from you religion I just want you to do it in a country that already practices what they do and it ISN’T HERE. Our God is Jesus Christ not mohammed.

Reblogged this on To The World With Love.
Please sign me up!
Will do! Thank you David!
I am not sure how this works. When I receive an email and click on the link I get the Patriot Army of America. Is the blog site or is FB, Twitter and Word Press the blog site?????
The Patriot Army of America is my blog, it’s a WordPress blog, because it’s through WordPress that I was able to create it, and this is it right here. I hope that helps! 🙂
Kristy, all the people on your site are wonderful. I will direct everyone I can to this “Patriot Army of America” web-site. So many people want to take action in turning this country around. We now have a plan in place so that we can join together to turn this country around and do something. Together, with God’s guidance we can take our Country back!
Thank you so much, Janet, and I’m honored to be working with you on the COP Board. Yes, I feel the same way you do, We the People are ready to take action and I’m glad to see the activism. We want America back, and if it’s going to take the COP’s to do it, then that’s what we’ll do. Our politicians have chosen to protect their jobs instead of upholding their Oaths to the Constitution, and the last time I checked, the United States Constitution is still in effect.
Keep up the fight
Will do, thanks! We’d love to have you join us!
Count me in.
